 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add entries to my table, but each time I save them, the DataTables
   JavaScript Library features automatically disable. I manually check all the boxes
   before saving, but when the page reloads they are unchecked again. I have tried
   uninstalling and reinstalling both TablePress and the Table Row Order extension,
   and this hasn’t fixed anything. I’m still a beginner and really afraid to break
   anything. Could you help me fix this issue?
 * I have also been having trouble saving the past few times – I get this error:
   
   Saving failed: AJAX call failed: error – . Try again while holding down the “
   Shift” key. I read on a different thread that this would need to be sorted out
   with the hosting – could this be the cause of the sorting issue?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdisabled-datatables-javascript-library%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This is indeed all caused by that AJAX error. The cause for this is the server
   configuration, as mentioned in those other threads that you already found. Unfortunately,
   I can only suggest to contact your webhost about this, as they will need to check
   the error logs and then adjust the server configuration.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
